Students who apply to California State schools have one less requirement to worry about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations was amended by California State University’s Board of Trustees to remove the requirement of SAT and ACT scores for undergraduate admissions for 23 universities.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, CSU released a statement<\/a> saying that the Admission Advisory Council found that “SAT and ACT tests provide negligible additional value to the CSU admission process.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Joshua Grasmick of Essential Test Preparation said, “There was a feeling of inequity for some lower-income students and just what has happened in the past with some scandal stuff. I think there is a bitter taste.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This action comes after the University of California’s Board of Regents voted to remove the requirements at nine schools last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some parents may feel relieved that the schools are now more accessible, but Grasmick says not all parents will feel that way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think that’s my worry if I am trying to get my kid to go to a Cal State, is that right now what is the criteria for admission,” he asked. “Why would my kid not get accepted but another kid would? I think it’s completely subjective right now.”<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, more than 1,800 accredited four-year universities have removed the ACT or SAT requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Kermit Boyd of Essential Test Preparation said, “I know they are going to have some measures they are going to take in place of that standardized test. I am just anxious to see what they are going to be.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials said that when they dropped their SAT and ACT requirements, the UC system had plans to produce a new standardized test for applicants in the fall of 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
